What depends on an organism's surface area?
The rate of heat loss from an organism
If an organism has a large volume what is its surface area like? 
relatively small . this makes it harder to lose heat from its body
what is a small organisms relative surface area like?
large
What does this mean?
Smaller organisms need a relatively high metabolic rate in order to GENERATE ENOUGH HEAT to STAY WARM
